In Words of the Humble bee and his Diamond Orchid

In words of the Humble Bee

My love my Diamond,

I see your 

precious petals begin to fall, 

I notice one has dropped already but soon the rest will 

follow. 

It's days like these I long to dread

because your beauty dies here

but remains stunning in my tiny head.

I will wait by your slender body

the only thing that remains of you.

 

I know your sisters will be the first to bloom

Nagging at me while I wait here all alone.

I'll ignore them as they speak  

a language I cannot understand. 

I'd rather hear your words that brought us together, those 

words you sang across the land. 

 

It is not long before

I have to say goodbye,

the rain reminds me of tears that we cannot physically

cry.  

I love you my darling orchid

Let your radiance sleep now, 

as I'll still be here

when you wake

always and forever,

that is the risk I'm willing to take.  

***

In words of The Diamond Orchid.

My Bee My Bee My Bee

I wish you would move on instead of watching me 

disappear 

 I wonder how such a tiny heart can sit and bare

of losing me when the time is near.

 

At least I'll have you close to my body

it wont give you the shelter you need but it will keep you 

from being so lonely. 

Please don't starve yourself while waiting for me

do what you have to do

build yourself a nest and store it full of honey. 

then carry our seeds across the land so the future of others

have a fighting chance.

while I'm sleeping I will hear your

 buzz play

you'll buzz soundly

but loud.

to keep other bee's at bay.

Oh my Humble bee I love you

forever and always.

be strong

be brave

will stick together

through these harsh winter days.

Amazingly put together two different perspectives on the same situation. The imagery is great. excellent job

Ah the humble bumble bee, in love with the dying orchid, good thoughts and quite well worked

[Raven Clark]

Awe! So sad. The bee's part in particular took me aback. Very realistic, and it put a lump in my throat.

This was nicely written. I like the two parts being separated between a flower and a bee. I thought it came out really good. Nice job.
